15th Mar 2025 – I taught myself a little web design with DreamWeaver when I probably should have been working at my paying job. The lack of any ‘real’ work to do for about 5 years was a great impetus for getting tenzenmen together as a record label, tour promoter and all-around money-losing supporter of musicians of a like mind from around the world.

A snapshot of the 2nd annual NOW now festival in Sydney, 2003 – excerpts comprises 13 pieces featuring Australia’s most committed improvisers and electronic musicians. 

Music by local uber stars, Martin Ng, Anthony Pateras, Oren Ambarchi, Jon Rose, Jim Denley, Peter Blamey, Scott Horscroft, Phil Slater and international travellers – the Ortez Funeral Directors (NZ), Cor Fuhler and Mike Cooper included. 

Disk two features the Splinter Orchestra – over 30 musicians – comprising nearly every performer in the festival, playing an intensely subtle 30 minute composition by Adam Sussmann.
